Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 212: A Stranger by the Car
They laughed, and the tension from earlier in the day loosened just a bit, releasing its grip on Petra's shoulders, easing something that had been coiled tight since the moment she'd watched a man fall from the fourth floor.It was strange, she thought, how life worked. Hours ago she'd watched a man nearly die. Now she was standing in a grocery store having what could become one of the most important networking conversations of her career, the two moments sitting so oddly close together that it almost felt like they belonged to different days entirely.The contrast felt surreal, almost disorienting, the ordinary hum of the supermarket a strange counterpoint to the image still lodged somewhere behind her eyes, of blood on concrete and a body suspended by bent metal rods.They continued shopping together, conversation flowing easily between the aisles. Olivia spoke warmly about Mills Corporation, about past dealings with the company — transactions that had happened before Petra offici
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 211: A Fall and a Chance Encounter
Morning light spread across the construction site in uneven patches, filtered through scaffolding and half-built concrete walls, casting long shadows across the dust-covered ground below.Petra stood near the temporary safety railing, helmet on, tablet tucked against her side, eyes moving constantly from workers lifting blocks to supervisors shouting instructions over the noise of machinery, the whole site alive. This project mattered. Not just because of its scale, but because it carried her name on every report sent back to the board, a name that had finally, after everything, come to mean something solid again.She had barely finished correcting a foreman on safety spacing when shouting erupted from above.It happened too fast for the mind to process cleanly.A man slipped. A sharp intake of breath rippled through the site. Someone screamed.Petra looked up just in time to see a labourer tumble from the fourth floor.Her heart dropped violently.Time seemed to slow as his body fel
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 210: The Simple Act of Choosing
Tonight was not for pressure. Tonight was for presence. For celebrating what already existed rather than grasping for what might come next, for letting the moment be enough without demanding it become something more.Petra's eyes shone as emotion crept up on her, uninvited and overwhelming. She felt it rise in her chest, warm and insistent, pushing past the defenses she'd carefully constructed over years of protecting herself, defenses that had served her well but had also, at times, kept her from moments exactly like this one.She took a step forward, then another, until she was close enough to feel his warmth radiating toward her, to catch the familiar scent of his cologne mixed with something distinctly him, something that had become, over these past months, as recognizable to her as her own heartbeat.Without thinking too much about it, she shifted into his arms, hugging him tightly, as though grounding herself in the reality of him, in the solid, unmistakable presence of a man
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 209: Us
Petra stood rooted just inside the doorway, her hand still resting on the door handle as her eyes took in the scene before her, the warmth of the room reaching her before her mind had fully caught up with what she was seeing.The dining area glowed softly, not with excess brightness, but with intention, every detail arranged as though someone had thought carefully about how the light itself should fall across the room.The table had been carefully set. China plates aligned carefully, cutlery gleaming under the warm light, wine glasses catching reflections from the chandelier above. Fresh flowers sat in simple vases, their scent faint but calming, drifting toward her in soft, unhurried waves.At the centre of the table, arranged with deliberate care, were the words "I Love You," written boldly and unapologetically, spelled out in a way that left no room for misinterpretation, no room for the careful hedging that usually came with difficult conversations.For a moment, she thought she
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 208: The Question She Couldn't Escape
"On whether you still love him," Malcolm said quietly.The question hung there, unembellished, suspended in the warm afternoon air like something too fragile to touch without consequence.Petra didn't answer. She didn't look away either. Something flickered across her face — too brief to name, too honest to hide, gone almost as quickly as it appeared but not quickly enough to escape the notice of the two men watching her closely. It was enough.Dr. Ken exhaled slowly, the sound carrying a weight that suggested he had been holding it in for longer than the conversation itself had lasted. "Petra," he said, softening his tone, his voice taking on the careful gentleness of someone approaching an old wound rather than a new one. "We're your family. It's our responsibility to make sure you're okay. That you're making choices that don't reopen wounds you fought so hard to close."She straightened immediately, her spine going rigid against the back of the chair. "No," she said, the word sha
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 207: The Question at the Table
The executive lounge sat slightly elevated above the rest of the hotel grounds, open to the afternoon breeze and framed by glass railings that reflected the soft city's sun.The light caught against the polished surfaces in a way that made the whole space feel suspended somewhere between business and leisure, neither fully one nor the other.Petra sat across from Dr. Ken Livingstone and Malcolm at a low table set neatly with documents, tablets, and untouched drinks, the condensation on the glasses slowly gathering into small pools that no one seemed inclined to notice. The setting was relaxed by design, but the conversation was anything but casual, the underlying formality of it evident in the careful way each of them chose their words.Dr. Ken leaned back in his chair, fingers steepled as Petra finished walking them through the latest project update, his attention fixed and unwavering despite the loose posture he had settled into, the kind of stillness that came from someone who had
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 4: "Let's Get a Divorce"
“There, there,” Petra murmured softly, her voice warm and calm. “Mommy is here.”The baby made a small sound and kicked his tiny legs against the blanket.Petra lay on the hospital bed, her back slightly propped up with pillows.Her face still looked pale, but there was a soft smile resting on her
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 3: Breaking Point
“It’s… it’s alright.”Zoe’s reaction changed so quickly it almost looked rehearsed. Just seconds ago she had flinched at the glass shattering near Pete’s feet, but now her face softened into something that looked like concern.She stepped closer to Pete, her fingers reaching for his hand as though
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 2: The Hundredth Mark
Martins and Eric flinched at the same time, their bodies jerking backward as if someone had just fired a gun in the room.For a second, nobody moved.The dirty diaper had landed squarely on Zoe’s face. Brown stains smeared across her cheek and nose, sliding slowly downward.Her eyes widened in disb
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 1: Betrayal
Petra caught another woman carelessly flirting with her own husband right in front of her eyes, barely forty eight hours of her postpartum recovery.The baby’s cry pierced through the house again, thin but stubborn, like a tiny alarm that refused to be ignored.Petra stood in the kitchen, exhausted
